图书简介
Rhode Island has a unique and fascinating history, and in Rhode Island 1636-1776, author Martha L. Moffitt Pease explores the colony's early years, from its founding by an outcast of the Massachusetts Bay Colony to its pivotal role in the founding of America. Pease uses first-person accounts, historical maps, and archival images to bring the story to life, and readers will be engrossed as they learn about the role that slavery and smuggling played in the colony once known as Rogues' Island, the strong democratic roots forged in town meetinghouses, and Rhode Island's claim to the first Black Regiment. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in American history and for those who want to learn more about the unique story of Rhode Island.
